Calling Kroger Shoppers

We got a gift card for Kroger's but we don't shop there. As I need a baked ham for NY day, I need to know if anyone who does shop there (and eats ham) knows if they offer a gluten free baked ham. I already had to scratch my first idea of getting one from Honeybaked - wheat starch right on the label. Ay ya ya............it never ends.

Kroger does have an 800 number, don't have it on me, and they are really quite knowledgeable and helpful. I have rarely, if ever, had any problems with Kroger brand stuff.

Don't know if this helps or not. We have a Kroger nearby but I went to another regional chain and wrote down the the brands that they carried then looked them up on the web and called a few. Of the ones I was able to get good info. on, Hillshire Farms explained their labeling practices and said they'd clearly state any wheat on labels. I'd feel comfortable purchasing their product. But have to say that I didn't go back and check the ingredients. It's one to keep am eye out for. I ended up purchasing a Harper's Country Ham. I tried to get info on Tyson and Carolia Pride but was unsuccessful.

Ham is very, very easy. If it doesn't list wheat, it's gluten-free. That really is all you need to know.

The spiral cut hams are a lot like honey baked, but they have a packet of glaze that has wheat in it. The ham is fine the glaze is not. So you just have to make your own glaze.

My Kroger carries Hormel Cure 81 ham which is gluten free. I baked it in an oven bag and made a very simple glaze. I was amazed at how easy it was and everyone liked it better than our traditional HoneyBaked!

Can you give us the recipe for your glaze? I would like to have a glaze recipe. Thanks for the information!

If you live in the south, you could probably just get some salt-cured ham. MUCH better than that "slimy" other stuff, in my opinion. I know the Kroger that I go to in Central KY has it...a holiday dinner must!

dragonmom, I would love your recipe for glaze! I have a gift certificate to honey baked hams but without the glaze, I don't like ham.

The glaze I used sounds almost too simple, but was sooo good - just mix 1-1/4 cups dark brown sugar with 1/4 dijon mustard. Here's how I prepped the ham:

Lightly score the ham in a diamond pattern.

Insert whole cloves in center of each diamond (optional). I didn't use them.

Place ham (cut side down) with 20-oz can of pineapple tidbits and juice in oven bag.

Set sealed bag in a foil-lined roasting pan and heat in 325 oven for about 1 hour.

Remove ham from bag, reserving pineapple and juice.

Place ham directly in foil-lined roasting pan and brush with prepared glaze.

(The glaze will naturally run downward as it heats, so I brush it extra thick on top.)

Continue to heat ham uncovered for 30 minutes.

Carve and serve, using reserved pineapple and juice to spoon over slices if desired.

The oven bag helps keep the ham moist, and lining the roasting pan with foil makes cleanup much easier as the glaze will permanently attach itself to the pan otherwise! Enjoy!!!

I found out Kroger has a spiral cut Brown Sugar Ham that is gluten free. That is what I'll use for NY day. It appears that the glaze is on this ham, yet it is still gluten free. If I find out otherwise after opening, I will make my own glaze - thanks for the recipe.

      What are Celiac Disease Symptoms?

      In addition to gastrointestinal symptoms like diarrhea, I had gastroesophageal reflux that was becoming intolerable despite treatment with PPIs and antacids. When I went gluten-free, the GERD lessened tremendously (as did the other symptoms).

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      Thank you so very much Scott. Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful. If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for.

      My only proof

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating...

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many...

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.

      I think I am gluten intolerant

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely possible you are dealing with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS).  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.   Your situation is a classic presentation: a negative celiac panel but a clear, recurring pattern of symptoms triggered by gluten. The symptoms you listed—particularly the extreme fatigue, bloating, neurological-psychiatric symptoms like depression and anxiety, and even the skin manifestations like facial flushing—are all well-documented in research on NCGS. It's important to know that you are not alone in experiencing this specific combination of physical and emotional reactions. The only way to know for sure is to commit to a strict, 100% gluten-free diet under the guidance of a doctor or dietitian for a period of several weeks to see if your symptoms significantly improve. It is also crucial to rule out other potential causes, so discussing these symptoms with a gastroenterologist is a very important next step.
